Hi, thanks for the info. I tried this in the interactive change event (which fires for each number entered) for the column and for the lost focus for the column, it works, but the numbers I get aren't the correct totals for the columns--I don't know what they are! At first I thought perhaps it was ignoring the filter, but that's not the case.
I used CALCULATE SUM(thisform.grid1.column1.text1.value) to thisform.totals(1)
Any more ideas?
Thanks loads! Becky
